Have you ever heard a song and thought "This sounds just like XYZ?" Some bands just have a signature sound that is recogniseable no matter what. When I found this song, it bugged me. Literally for hours.
The guitaring was screaming "Nine Inch Nails" mixed with something else entirely. I liked it. The second time I listened to it, I liked it even more, but I just couldn't pinpoint which song it reminded me of. I enjoy her gritty voice. She teamed up with Shirley Manson from Garbage too on a song called Meet the Foetus. That one had a totally different kind of vibe. I like this one better.

>I've got the feeling I can break
>Out of anything that is standing in my way
I know the feeling I can take
The pain of losing teeth is better than defeat
I've got the feeling I can let go
Because it means that much to me to show you so
You're the reason I can stay
And fight until the death
'Cause what I stand for will not give up
Of course I had to find it because it was driving me nuts. So I trawled through Year Zero. The song it reminds me of is this one. The tempo of the two songs is different but there are marked similarities and I had to wonder if she had been slightly inspired or influenced by Trent Reznor. So I looked it up because - you know, useless information is fun.
Brody Dalle opened for NIN and Queens Of The Stone Age during their co-headlining tour in 2014.

So it probably wasn't just my imagination considering that her song was released the same year as the tour 😁

How empowering are the words of these two songs?
I do so enjoy his lyrics and he's a musical legend. Did you know that he plays 25 instruments?
Anyway, this was a strange instance that I found cool and I got to add a new song to my playlist at the same time.
Let me know what you think, does the underlying riff sound similar to you or am I indeed going nuts?
I know that I've not entirely complied with the rules this time as I'm only submitting two, but figured I didn't want to dilute my post by throwing in one that didn't fit in. I'm just particular like that 🤣
